Plus sized Violet Lewis has always been "the good girl." Overweight since she was very young, Violet is terribly shy when it comes to dating and men. A talented writer, Violet's far more comfortable behind the computer keyboard than dealing with men face to face.
Enter Nicholas Colby.
Nicholas is a sexy billionaire playboy who's a legend in the boardroom -- and the bedroom. And to make matters more complicated, Nick just so happens to own the online magazine where recent college grad Violet has gotten her first journalism job.
When a coworker fails to meet their deadline, newcomer Violet is forced to fill in at the last minute -- even if that means writing a piece for the magazine's "Naughty Little Secrets" column. Violet is terribly nervous. The magazine's "Naughty Little Secrets" column is legendary. Whatever Violet writes is certain to get a lot of readers. The column is often risque -- and nearly always sexual. In order to fulfill the task, Violet must take a naughty, personal secret she has never told anyone -- and reveal it to the world.
This is not the kind of territory Violet is AT ALL comfortable with -- so she writes the piece and then uses her computer savvy to upload her "naughty" confession under an anonymous pen name.
At first all goes well. Violet's story is a smashing success, and her identity is a secret.
But despite her best efforts, Violet soon learns that she hasn't covered her tracks well enough.
One man has gotten past her disguise. One man knows the truth.
Nick Colby, the magazine's sexy and dangerous owner, is instantly taken with the provocative column and he makes it his mission to unmask the author. It doesn't take Nick long, and once he knows Violet's sexy secret, all bets are off.
Or are they just getting started?
Before Violet even realizes what's happening, she finds herself sucked into Nick's dangerous, sexy game. It's a game that will push her to the limits. Win or lose, Violet Lewis will never be the same....
When Chef Margot loses her beloved restaurant to her cheating ex-fiance, her best friend, single dad Nathan, steps in with an unexpected offer to help her start over. As they collaborate, sparks fly-but can they overcome their complicated pasts for a chance at real love?
